Record-Breaking Thread

I'm so excited, 5:22 AM and I can't sleep but am tired. Had a cold which I think turned into a nasal infection, sore eye, sore tooth, plugged nasal passage, all on the left side. Hopefully it goes away soon.

I worked at a cafe/restaurant for a while. There is a natural flow in most kitchens that can be thrown out of balance if the cooks have to start going backwards. Also, if a customer made a request that we were not going to be able to execute 100% of the time, we generally told them no because we didn't want a bunch of "but you did it last time" future arguments.

Oh I get that. We'd simply ordered a coffee though and there was nobody behind us.

Here’s the bike, replete with new tires that just arrived today. They are directional, and I knew this going in. I made special attention to mount them correctly. Unfortunately, I made an error by “remembering” that the brake disks were on the right. What I failed to recall was that the bike was upside down at the time. Oops! So, I took them all apart again and switched them around. Took it for a quick ride through the cemetery and was surprised that everything worked like it hadn’t been sitting unused for about 6 years. It will certainly get some more use during my furlough.

EDIT: No... I did not stage the scene so that the reflectors on the tires were nearly aligned. I just noticed it now.

This was my June 2018 rental in Valdez Alaska. The shot was taken at 10:02pm. (Only about 3 hours of dusk after midnight) Would have much preferred something like yours but it was the only game in town.

Sunday - It's possible my gal and I will go out for a Sunday drive today, just where, I haven't decided yet, but we've done such drives in the past and they've generally been good times. Only problem is that said excursion won't terminate in a restaurant for dinner, drat it, unless we get a to-go order (which MIGHT just happen).

Monday - The Sunday Drive was simple yet enjoyable: north to Ohio 322, east to 534, well east of Painesville, then south to 422 and home. Lots of farm country and more than a couple Amish buggies. It was time well spent, and we both had a good time.

A young woman in York County Pennsylvania was ticketed for more than $200 for taking a short drive in her car, seemingly in violation of the governor's stay at home order. The two troopers stopped her under the false premise of a bad tail light (which was magically working by the time she reached home), and did not falsify a ticket for the tail light, but they did issue her a citation/ticket for violating the governor's order to stay home, because they were of the opinion that taking a short drive alone was not sufficient reason to be outside of her home.

I have almost zero concern about catching the virus and significant concern about what the government/people are going to do in the name of placating peoples fears.

Calling the cops on people walking their dog, I'm not making this up. Alberta Health is advertising on the radio to get out of the house for mental health reasons, just follow the distancing rules, and crap like this is happening. I couldn't imaging be so scared/bitter at someone that I'd call the cops because I saw them walking down the sidewalk.

Apart from the fact that it's unconstitutional for them to enforce this, as I'm sure you don't want to be YOURNAME v. United States, know this:

ANYBODY in the state of California (or anywhere else) can say they are:

Going to _____enter name's____ home for a welfare check;

Coming back from a medical appointment (it is illegal for them to require proof. Thanks, HIPPA!);

Heading to ______ to pick up needed medication (again, HIPPA);

And so forth.

PROVIDED: They are not "near the beach" or another implausible location/activity/etc.

DISCLAIMER: I am a journalist. We are apparently "necessary", so I have no skin in the game, as it were. Still, the above holds true--verified in the state of Michigan--which has the same "law."

Good times...

If I was a lawyer, I be fighting it in court for being unconstitutional. You can't stop a person from feeding himself/herself and getting their basis necessities. Stupidity of elected officials never ceases to amaze me.

As you all know, I've liked to follow pony car sales results for a while. First quarter results held up for Mustang, with Challenger respectable, and Camaro bringing up the rear... by a lot. Don't know if Camaro can survive with these numbers.

In other news, got my application in for the payroll protection program. The money becomes a grant if you don't lay off anybody, which I won't. Liked the proposal to just eliminate payroll tax until the end of the year better, but this is good too, for small business. The difference between what is being done now and what was done in 2008 is like night and day, and that's a good thing, a very good thing.

Let's redesign the new Camaro to make it look exactly like the old one!

Great idea, after this success, we're going to put you in charge of the Silverado interior, Herb, you remember him, he did the Aztek, he's working on the exterior, should be great!!

Not a shock though, with the exception of one year, sales have declined annually since 2011. There are also the rumors of it's demise in 2021.

Fairly impressed with FCA though, they certainly know how to extend the appeal on a car. Grand Caravan comes to mind, but specific to this discussion, the Challenger debuted in 2008 with 25,852 units sold in the first calendar year of production (2009). They sold 60,997 last year. Who else is more than doubling sales 11 years after the vehicle came out? How do they do this, more power and trim packages, is that all it takes?

This is either going to be very bad for this site, or possibly good...

This very magazine is looking for a "Digital Editor," one of the kinds I can't be as I don't understand what the heck the listing is talking about. It is VERY long and VERY boring, but this bit is of interest:

Responsibilities include: "Support the leadership team through an upcoming redesign, charting testing and content priorities, targeting new editorial ambitions, and establishing ongoing best practices for the CMS and site production."

Thanks... This will be a Detroit based job. Heard anecdotally that an office location change was coming but thought it might be the Hearst NYC mothership. Makes sense to have it near the manufacturers, facilities and people they interact with out there.

Feel free to return the favor if you hear about any jobs that involve actual English terms. "Unpaid Intern" for instance... (seriously though)
